The C.​O.​W.​S. Dr. Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up To Heaven Part 1 #MinisterMalcolmX #COINTELPRO #WandaColeman

from The C.O.W.S.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the debut study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up To Heaven. This is the 6th autobiography in her 7 book memoir series. We read books 1, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and 4, The Heart of a Woman. Dr. Angelou now reigns as the only author to have three books read on the Katherine Massey Book Club. We're reading this book to hear Dr. Angelou's depiction of the assassination of Minister Malcolm X. She was in San Francisco at the time of the murder. Importantly, this text, like The Heart of a Woman, features an egregious error that should have been corrected by editors or a mindful author. Dr. Angelou writes that the "1955" Montgomery bus boycott inspired those on the continent of Africa. Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King's famed counter-racist insurrgency against Alabama's Racist public transportation began in 1955 and lasted for a year. Parks alleged told the public her act of defiance was inspired by Emmett L. Till's lynching in August of 1955. Dr. Angelou should value this history enough to get these dates correct for posterity. #SNL50 #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
